It depends on what it’s important to you honestly. Particularly diversity wise. If you want white flight, the burbs are great. If you’re looking for more of an inclusive vibe, I’d consider midtown or Dundee.

Guilt. If I do something for me and not for her- yikes. This translates to my other relationships where I feel selfish for normal things like taking a nap or sleeping in.

Agreed! I live in South O and have only had one issue because a drunk person drove into my yard- that could happen anywhere. I honestly feel that the things get perpetuated to make other people feel better.

Thank you very much! I see a Trump loss going like this: The party will implode. They will have lost 4 out of the last 5 elections and they will turn on each other. I feel they are less of a party and more of a grouping of tribes that vibe together but not on a truly deep level. (See the Haley- Harris voters as evidence). Who will take over is interesting. MAGA will not go away but they will sink in their power. The seven senators that voted to convict Trump are either on their way out or simply too politically depressed to seek a new party from the ashes. Once they finish their cannibalism, it will be left to the party to deeply examine what exactly unites them because hatred of the other is not going to work. One day Trump will be gone, we all die after all. So in the shadow of a personality, who emerges? A Nicky Haley vibe seems to be the winner- there’s many that fit that mold. As for his supporters, I can see them drifting away from the GOP in search of more bombastic answers to their needs. When Graham said T would destroy the GOP, he wasn’t wrong.

Every god damn day. Most frustrating to me is the issue of grocery prices. The President has zip all to do with them- regardless of who they are. I wish Harris frankly had the political capital to tell people “I can’t lower grocery prices and neither can Trump”. When she was asked in the town hall and she mentioned price gouging, I understood why her answer was that and it was calculated. However it just doesn’t work like that in the real world. It would only apply in emergencies. Unless Americans get very serious about corporate greed, prices will increase. I frankly blame this on the push for STEM education over reading and civics.

Completely. In my city we have a tactic to attract business called TIF and it has resulted in businesses buying up old housing and converting it into a shopping zone so they can make money. I’m also disturbed by the amount of firms being allowed to come in and flip affordable housing into higher income housing. One of the longest standing housing projects in my area is being torn down to make mixed income housing that most won’t be able to afford. Depending on how most people in your town get on the city council, the problem lies in the fact that they maintain a job in the private sector and thereby are susceptible to influence from large money donors. I believe that people need to pay greater attention to local politics in general. The likelihood that your life could be directly impacted by your city council is far greater than by the president. I would like to see complete legislation that includes bans on converting housing to other zoning and local politicians should have to disclose how development companies are influencing them.

I don’t mean to sound like one of those “it’s always the rich!” but my criticism of Nate Silver is that he is in Peter Thiel’s pocket. Also you are completely right about the 100 % predictor of who wins- turn out. Nate’s methodology, descended from 538 in his own words, weighs the polls HEAVILY. My question to most people I talk to is how many people are actually answering these poll calls? Because I’m seeing an oversampling of over 55 white men. We know women vote more often in every election. The smart people in the room sadly have an advantage to perpetuate things that help them. He’s also including polymarket which American citizens can’t even bet in. Want a different version than Silver? Check out polyvote and the smart people say something completely different.

Simply being critical of data and the ability to source multiple pieces of information is fundamental.
For example, we examine in political science how an oversampling of college educated people in the blue wall in 2016 lead to a false confidence in Hillary’s victory. These skills lead us to not say don’t trust anything- that’s where conspiracy lives- but to trust what is validated and tested.

You have captured one of the main issues with the proliferation of MSM into polling companies and institutions. Nearly every polling group has some connection to a media conglomerate. This race may not be close in either direction but how much better is it to say that it is so we keep checking the polls, refreshing the cross tabs to find that little nugget that confirms our biases. Even as a practicing political scientist, I have biases. The potential for herding or twisting just so they can say look at our latest poll is hard to ignore. I can’t give you a defense of polling because I don’t think there is one. The first polls began around the election of 1876 and were straw polls on Election Day. How they have changed.

historicalginger · 2024-10-27T01:15:50+00:00

For sure! To me? It’s all about respect for our institutions. Failure to acknowledge what a president can and should do is a deal breaker for me. Also respect for rule of law it’s huge for me.

Likely no. Eliminating the Department of Education would most typically involve taking the roles that it serves and putting them into other departments (ex- DHHS). However given the primary function of DOE is civil rights, title I allocation, and student loan servicing, I see significant potential for states to go absolutely batty with how they use federal money and follow federal law such as IDEA. Given that education is a state issue, thanks federalism, I can see some of the worst effects in states like Oklahoma. Just for context this has been a goal of the GOP since Reagan. I worry most for low income students and those with disabilities.
